Lee & Associates Releases Upstate CRE Report
Posted by: | Comments
As the aftermath of the recession unfolds, the real estate sector continues its slow rebound. Vacancy is down in the office market and up in the retail market. Large industrial space continues to be in high demand in the Upstate, according to Lee & Associates’ mid-year report.
The Upstate has 3,814 buildings, equaling about 172.7 million square feet, for the industrial warehouse market, according to Lee & Associates’ inventory. The Upstate struggles to have buildings equipped to meet manufacturer’s needs of today.
Lee & Associates’ industrial warehouse market includes Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Laurens, Pickens and Cherokee counties. The region experienced 1.4 million square feet in industrial absorption in the second quarter of 2012, which is the highest since the construction boom in 2008. The industrial market’s vacancy rate is at 9.4%.
The only new building delivered to the market in the first half of 2012 was the roughly 950,000-square-foot ZF Transmissions building in Laurens County.
Anderson Building to Get Modern Facelift
Posted by: | Comments
A two-story building at South Main and West Benson streets in downtown Anderson is about to go through a facelift, bringing a modern style to accent the early 20th-century buildings that are there now.
The building houses J Peters Grill and Bar on the first floor, and the second floor is empty.
Steve Kay, who owns the building, said Thursday that he plans to renovate the exterior, covering it from the ground to the rooftop in a wall of glass. When construction is complete, the building will be called “The Plaza,” because it overlooks the Anderson County Courthouse plaza, Kay said.
$2.8 Million for an Amphitheater Site in Anderson?
Posted by: | CommentsAnderson Mayor Terence Roberts says the city council will take its first vote Monday on whether to spend $2.8 million to turn the old Belk site into an outdoor amphitheater.
Roberts said the council should be able to move forward with the second and final reading on the bond ordinance for the project at its Aug. 22 meeting.
The $2.8 million would be spent on changing what are now an overgrown lot and an empty building on Whitner Street in downtown Anderson into an open-air pavilion, an outdoor amphitheater and park complete with an interactive waterfall.
The vacant property sits behind a wooden fence on Whitner Street across from the historic Anderson County Courthouse.

Greenville Area Apartment Occupancies on the Rise
Posted by: | Comments
The occupancy rate for the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson area apartment market remained relatively unchanged over the past six months. The occupancy rate improved to 91.4%, and occupancy rates have been on an upward trend since May 2009, according to Real Data.
This trend is due in part to the lure of renting over home ownership as well as the lack of new development, said the Charlotte, N.C., based real estate research firm.

Posted by: | Comments

Barber civil engineering firm, told county council members Saturday that his firm needs about two more weeks of field testing on the proposed project site along S.C. 11. A conceptual plan in line with the council’s aims could follow perhaps as early as a week later.
Estaban said his firm is carrying out such tasks as topographical analysis, wetlands assessment and an archeological and cultural resource analysis of the site before issuing a final report to the county.
